	Whether it is their intention, as intimated at Section 16(5) and (6) of the draft Human Tissue and Embryos Bill, to permit the possibility of reproductive cloning; and
	Whether the draft Human Tissue and Embryos Bill will supersede the Human Reproductive Cloning Act 2001 by permitting the placing of a human embryo in a woman if the regulator deems that the embryo has undergone a process designed to avoid mitochondrial disease; and in what way this new provision would prevent reproductive cloning.
